Since Washtenaw is test-optional, follow this plan only if you choose to submit scores: take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes. The February 15 financial aid priority deadline is not a score deadline, so make sure any fall retake scores arrive before your chosen admission application date.
